Jack Harris: Teaching Teachers 2 (Work In Progress)

If you have been keeping an eye on the Brighton Fringe programme, you might have noticed that Jack Harris is bringing his latest project, Teaching Teachers 2 (Work In Progress), to the city this May. Harris, who balances his career as a teacher with his work as a writer for the BBC One show Have I Got News For You, is using this show to explore the current education crisis through a multimedia comedy lens. It is a work-in-progress, meaning the show is designed to test out new material, and the premise centres on his attempt to recruit more people into the teaching profession.

The performances are scheduled for Sunday 3 May and Monday 4 May 2026, with both shows starting at 14:45. The venue for these sessions is Presuming Ed, located at 114-115 London Road. It is a relatively small, intimate space situated above a pub, which fits the tone of a work-in-progress show. The room is equipped with the necessary audio, lighting, and projection setup for his multimedia presentation. The show itself runs for 45 minutes, making it a fairly concise addition to an afternoon schedule.

Regarding the logistics, the tickets are priced at £6, operating under a 'Pay What You Want' (PWYW) model. It is worth noting the age guidance for the show is 14+, and there is a strict policy in place that does not allow children under the age of 2, often referred to as a 'Babes in Arms' policy. While this is a new work-in-progress, Harris has previously received critical attention for his work, with past reviews appearing in publications like the Metro, The Telegraph, and The Scotsman, which may give you some context on his style if you are familiar with his previous comedy.
